Predictive text
Both Swype and Android keyboard provide predictive text input for the browser. As
you tap the letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the keyboard
that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close match allowing for
errors. The word list changes after every key press. If the word you need is
displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your text.
Swype
Swype is a fast way to enter text. It allows you to type
with one continuous motion across the screen
keyboard; you create a word by drawing through
letters.
Put your finger on the first letter of the word and draw
a path from letter to letter, lifting up only after the last
letter. Swype will insert spaces where necessary.
Swype will usually add a double letter in a word when
needed, but you can help Swype recognize you want
a double letter by scribbling slightly or making a loop
on the letter. For example, to get the "ll" in "hello",
scribble (or make a loop) on the "l" key.
